Kot in Action Creative Artel is opening its doors to 3rd party game developers
An Open Letter to the Independent Developer Community and Press.
Attention all Indies:
Steel Storm, the premier franchise by Kot in Action Creative Artel, is opening its doors to 3rd party (including indie) game developers.
Steel Storm: Burning Retribution is a top down action shooter with old school spirit. It marks the return of top-down shooters with new twists. The game has score oriented competitive gameplay, and is designed for people who like fast paced action, hordes of smart enemies, destructible worlds and ground shaking explosions.
We see an opportunity to bring Steel Storm to other genres and platforms and artistic/media formats, but we are working on new games (See our blog at http://kot-in-action.com for details on these!) and cannot split our time between two major projects. Therefore we look to other game developers to keep the torch moving.
